Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By amannamedjed: I don't watch a lot of these videos. But some of them really catch my eye for reasons I can't explain. This one did. Employees of the iPhone plant are escaping their dormitories in an attempt to walk all the way home to other cities. Some of them are caught, sprayed with antiseptic and sent back. Others escape by various means. People along the way sometimes provide them with food and drink. Why are they escaping a good paying job like the iPhone assembly plant? 1) They are in yet another of China's zero tolerance covid lockdowns. So the employees are locked in their dormitories. 2) Rumors that they are running out of food motivate them to escape those dormitories. Are they running out of food? Good question. It's hard to get accurate information out of China. But there seems to be enough fear that they are fleeing whether they have food or not. It seems to me things would have to be pretty bad before they simply walked away from food and shelter. If there was sufficient food to feed people in their dorms, I can't see thousands of people attempting a trek across the country side unless there really was some kind of food crisis.

I believe they put netting around the dorm perimeter a few years ago (before COViD) because of the number of workers at FoxCon who were committing suicide by jumping off the roof. It didn’t have a very good reputation as a place to work back then. Trying to flee this place isn’t surprising. What is, is the number who were able to actually get out. |

Nearly 40% of small businesses in the US failed to pay rent in October - with more than HALF saying their prices have been hiked at least 10% over the past six months
- The findings, published Tuesday by Boston-based business tracker Alignable, illustrate the stark effect inflation is having on everyday Americans - The survey of 4,789 small business owners saw more than half of respondents say their rent is at least 10 percent higher than it was six months ago - If you go back seven months, the majority said rents have increased 20 percent - The study found that roughly 37 percent of small businesses - almost half of all Americans working in the private sector - were left unable to pay rent in October - Compounding concerns is the fact that several states, such as New York, and California, are already well over the already-high national average https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11375965/Nearly-40-small-businesses-failed-pay-rent-October.html |

That number seems insanely high when you consider many small businesses are home-based and operate from residences. I don't find that number hard to believe. Considering 20% of small businesses fail within their first year, another 20% to 30% that is struggling does not seem unlikely. These are traditional numbers, by the way, not post-covid, high-inflation numbers. |

Listing Yon’s prediction of a Trump landslide win in 2020 as a failed prediction was one that was put forth as an example. That one doesn’t exactly count as a failure in my book. From what I’ve seen of his major predictions, i.e. civil war in the US and global famine, the jury is still out. Most of the ones I’ve seen lately, center around the current war, famine, & pandemic threats which tie into the global famine prediction. To a certain extent, even the civil war in the US prediction could be tied to his two years of food prediction. Either way, current situations are headed towards the direction of his predictions rather than away from them, at least right now. Otherwise, this thread would have died months ago. |

I don't know how bad it is going to get here in the states. But I am still strongly leaning towards some kind of major food and energy fubar. ETA: This situation in Brazil has me somewhat concerned. Brazil has always been a relatively prosperous place. I am afraid that a country in South America with 210 million people that suddenly turns down the road towards Venezuela implies a lot more economic refugees flooding our borders. More mouths to feed while simultaneously losing farm production capability seems like that alone will drive prices higher, even if nothing else comes along. |

I want to briefly discuss the favelas in Brazil. Between 12 and 13 million people live in these. Everyone thinks of Rio de Janeiro, but they are located around all the big cities. Some of these people have steady jobs and are living fairly comfortably. Some live off the drug trade and are in violent gangs. Many have some kind of economic support that keeps them from starvation.
Looking around the world, what always happens when the marxists take over the government? In every case, there begins a long slide towards economic ruin. In some cases, it happens rapidly. Most of the time, it takes a few years. If the country is fairly prosperous, as Brazil has been, then the marxist government can live off the fat of the land for quite a while before the rot destroys the country. So it would seem Brazil is not going to see economic disaster for some time. However, the favelas have a lot of people that are living on the edge. Right now, they have enough to eat. But they don't have a lot of margin there. If the economy turns south, as it surely will, it will not take a long time before those people slip from just above the edge, to just below it. When poor people don't have enough to eat, they vote for more stuff for themselves (as they just did). But if the government is already marxist, they demonstrate, then riot, then get violent. The favelas are riddled with dozens of gangs. These gangs will make the situation worse because they will do what gangs always do in those conditions. They will rob others to provide for themselves and their dependents. So the gang wars will get even worse than they are now. People will flee the favelas. They will flee because they are hungry. They will flee because they are afraid of the violence. And some people, from the wealthy areas, will flee because they see the writing on the wall and want to escape with their assets before they are confiscated. That is a lot of people looking for a new and better life. And you know where that leads. |

Last time I checked, Ukrainians paid zero taxes to the USA, yet the bastards expect and demand we underwrite their education, energy and civil services, bail out their out of control spending and insure money laundering profits. Fuck that noise. They need to pay back the $60 billion they have already received. Then maybe we will consider asset backed loans. |

Calling the living areas dorms is in the loosest meaning of the word. They aren't like college dorms or apartments. They are living in what amounts to broom closets. Tiny space smaller than a prison cell. The pics are insane. |

The thing that I noticed around the same time that I heard about the suicide netting at FoxCom was that companies in the US were starting to build work campuses along with adjoining apartment complexes so workers could live & work without the burden of commuting to work. Of course this was all before the push for working at home that COViD brought about. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Nailcrusher: It might not even be a long slide in Brazil if these election protests get violent enough to morph into a civil war. That happens and the supply chain gets interrupted any worse than it probably already has and things could get interesting. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Nailcrusher: Originally Posted By amannamedjed: I want to briefly discuss the favelas in Brazil. Between 12 and 13 million people live in these. Everyone thinks of Rio de Janeiro, but they are located around all the big cities. Some of these people have steady jobs and are living fairly comfortably. Some live off the drug trade and are in violent gangs. Many have some kind of economic support that keeps them from starvation. Looking around the world, what always happens when the marxists take over the government? In every case, there begins a long slide towards economic ruin. In some cases, it happens rapidly. Most of the time, it takes a few years. If the country is fairly prosperous, as Brazil has been, then the marxist government can live off the fat of the land for quite a while before the rot destroys the country. So it would seem Brazil is not going to see economic disaster for some time. However, the favelas have a lot of people that are living on the edge. Right now, they have enough to eat. But they don't have a lot of margin there. If the economy turns south, as it surely will, it will not take a long time before those people slip from just above the edge, to just below it. When poor people don't have enough to eat, they vote for more stuff for themselves (as they just did). But if the government is already marxist, they demonstrate, then riot, then get violent. The favelas are riddled with dozens of gangs. These gangs will make the situation worse because they will do what gangs always do in those conditions. They will rob others to provide for themselves and their dependents. So the gang wars will get even worse than they are now. People will flee the favelas. They will flee because they are hungry. They will flee because they are afraid of the violence. And some people, from the wealthy areas, will flee because they see the writing on the wall and want to escape with their assets before they are confiscated. That is a lot of people looking for a new and better life. And you know where that leads. It might not even be a long slide in Brazil if these election protests get violent enough to morph into a civil war. That happens and the supply chain gets interrupted any worse than it probably already has and things could get interesting. Iirc their agriculture industry relies heavily on imported fertilizers and they're not going to be producing much without them https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/brazils-fertilizer-imports-jump-farmers-prepare-plant-new-crop-2022-07-01/ Per this article 85% |

Regarding your last statement, those currently in power (here and around the world) don't want a country like America based on self-reliance, national pride/nationalism nor one with a constitution being followed, as that serves as an example of freedom, and success, and would be a direct threat to what they are aching to achieve. |

As a US citizen living in one of the territories this is true. The territories are your democratic future. Completely democratic controlled, all election candidates are democratic. When they get "voted" in all their friends and cronies get jobs in the government. Overstuffed government offices, multiple departments, it's the old WPA all over. The territories can not survive without the Federal government money. Everything here is fixed using fed money. If they were cut loose they would turn into Hati within 6 months. |

The hard truth is that those weapons were developed to win the war, and that is exactly what they were used for, killing enough people to convince the Japanese to surrender unconditionally. The saved lives reasons is bullshit. Those weapons were deployed because we had them, like all the other weapons. |

A TRANSITION TO FOSSIL FUELS IS UNDER WAY
Powerline Blog "Despite the fanfare surrounding wind and solar, the world’s dependency on fossil fuels is increasing. Last week, Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said that the world is now “transitioning to coal.” "Saad al-Kaabi, Energy Minister of Qatar, says, “Many countries particularly in Europe which had been strong advocates of green energy and carbon-free future have made a sudden and sharp U-turn. Today, coal burning is once again on the rise reaching its highest levels since 2014.” They are right. Global coal demand will reach an historic high in 2022, similar to 2013’s record levels. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), “Global coal consumption is forecast to rise by 0.7 percent in 2022 to 8 billion tons…. Coal consumption in the European Union is expected to rise by seven percent in 2022 on top of last year’s 14 percent jump.” "Analysts are projecting “a huge gas-to-coal fuel transition in power and industrial sectors” of Europe. Yes, not gas to renewables, but gas to coal. In fact, the European Union’s coal consumption grew 16 percent year-on-year for the first half of 2022. European countries imported 7.9 million tons of thermal coal in June, more than doubling year-on-year. Annual coal imports are expected to reach 100 million tons by the end of the year, the highest since 2017. Even in the most developed economies of the West like Germany and the UK, fossil fuels continue to dominate as the only dependable source of energy. Germany is set to become the third highest importer of Indonesian coal in 2023, ranked just below coal-guzzling China and India." |

Saudi Arabia Reiterates Commitment To China, Regardless Of U.S. Concerns
- Saudi Arabia last week reiterated its commitment to China as its “most reliable partner and supplier of crude oil,”. - MbS seemingly now sees the U.S. as a partner just for its security considerations. - Saudi Arabia's strategic pivot effectively marks the end of the 1945 core agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia that defined their relationship up until extremely recently. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Saudi-Arabia-Reiterates-Commitment-To-China-Regardless-Of-US-Concerns.html |

Do you believe we want a world wide famine? If so, you have failed badly to read the room. We don’t want famine. But we are preparing in case there is one. ETA: In reading the article, I see they are saying the crop is looking good, but they are still a ways from harvest. Also the general tone of the article is they got whomped pretty bad last year. So they are hoping for continuing good weather this year to make up for last year’s blood letting. |
